Consists of a torque head, adjustable in height by
means of a lead screw rotated by a drive wheel to enable the vane to be
lowered into the specimen. Rotation of the vane is by means of an electric
motor which operates a worm gear arrangement turning the upper end of a
calibrated torsion spring. The vane shaft is attached through the hollow
upper shaft to a reset table pointer which indicates the angle of torque on
a dial graduated in degrees. The dial reading multiplied by spring factor
gives the torque.
